   黄色是太阳公公的本色,它饱含智慧与生命力,让人显得年轻有朝气。纯黄是欢乐而柔和可爱的。黄色是色谱中最令人愉快的颜色,它被认为是知识和光明的象征,可以刺激神经系统和改善大脑功能,激发人的朝气,令人思维敏捷。


  如果把没有窗户的厂房墙壁涂成黄色,就可以消除或减轻单调的手工劳动给工人带来的苦闷情绪。
  黄色在英语和汉语中的引申含义差别比较大。在英语中,yellow可以表示“胆小、卑怯、卑鄙”的意思,例如:
  a yellow dog 可鄙的人,卑鄙的人
  a yellow livered 胆小鬼
  He is too yellow to stand up and fight 1. 他太软弱,不敢起来斗争。
  英语中的黄色还用来作为事物的特定颜色,例如,美国有些城市的出租车上标有“yellow”(而不是“taxi”)的字样,代表出租车,因为那里的出租车为黄颜色。
  如:
  Yellow Pages 黄页 (电话号码簿,用黄纸印刷)
  Yellow Book 黄皮书 (法国等国家的政府报告,用黄封面装帧)
  yellow boy (俗)金币
  汉语中黄色一词有时象征低级趣味、色情庸俗、下流猥亵的意思,如黄色电影、黄色书刊、黄色光碟等等。这些名称中的“黄”与英语中的“yellow”无关。能够表示汉语中这些意思的词汇应该是:pornographic(色情的)、vulgar(庸俗下流的)、obscene(猥亵的)等。然而,英语中另一个颜色词blue却常用来表示汉语中这类意思,如blue jokes(下流的玩笑), blue films(黄色电影)等。

n.打架,战斗,斗志;v.对抗,打架
  • We are ready to fight again.我们再度准备好战斗。
  • I'll fight with you.我会和你并肩作战。
